And that is exactly what addictions do right? They keep you shackled, they keep you bound, they keep you stuck, they stop you from reaching your true inner potential.  There are many kinds of addictions too. Maybe youâre addicted to sex but want to have a meaningful relationship, maybe youâre addicted to sugar but want to kick metabolic syndrome, maybe youâre addicted to work and lack friendships , maybe youâre addicted to your own ego but want to be more self less and kinder to others, maybe youâre addicted to drugs and alcohol but want to be free of all of that.Â
Â
In essence, the addiction will always block the potential. Addictions keep you disempowered and small and they never work because they can never satiate you. An addiction will never satisfy you thatâs why you need more of it each time - thatâs how they work, thatâs how they have their power OVER you. So, if an addiction was going to make you happy it would have done so by now! True? Yes! An addiction can never r...
What is it that you want to change? Do you want to change your eating patterns, lose weight, think better thoughts or fearlessly get out of your comfort zone?Â
No matter what you want to change, follow these rules of the mind and this will help you.
ONE
Any internal issue you have in your life like depression or anxiety (even if it's something you don't want) GIVES you something and your mind thinks you need it because your mind does exactly what it thinks you are asking you. Let's unpack this. Your subconscious mind is like the most unbiased butler. It does whatever it is told. But the butler takes his cues from your unconscious mind OR your super conscious mind. Your unconscious mind is the mind of protection and fear and it's where all of your experiences are stored including your childhood. Your super conscious mind is your mind of boundless opportunity and it's where your creativity, your imagination and your intuition comes from. In RTT we go on a journey to utilise all aspec...

How do we become resilient to the challenges of menopause? Do we do nothing and let it overtake us or do we actively participate to become more adapted to this challenging phase of our lives?
The most helpful narrative I've come across is to be primed and ready for menopause as much as we can in order to avoid the massive pitfalls of ill health that can occur at this time.Â

If you're curious about the place inside of us where the mind and body come together, then look no further than the fascinating subject of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Â
When we take a look at MCAS what we're REALLY looking at, is the junction between the immune system and the nervous system. Â
Fascinating though it is, symptoms of MCAS can be incredibly annoying and often difficult to make sense of, and to top it all off, at menopause we become a little more susceptible to our Mast Cells becoming agitated leading to this pick and mix of symptoms. Â
My guest today is Tracey Reed who is the co-founder of Histamine Haven along with Luka Symmons. She is a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant, an instructor at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and the recipient of the 2018 Clinical Excellence Award.

Why is menopause a risk factor for increased auto immune issues? Â
In today's episode we'll find out. Â
My guest today, VJ Hamilton, was just seven years old when she first discovered a patch of alopecia at the back of her head. While there was a genetic component to this, during her adult life, her symptoms become worse, ranging from joint pain to extreme fatigue and psoriasis.Â
Unable to resign herself to the fact that there was nothing she could do, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Â
Today, after 7 years, she lives symptom free.Â
VJ is a autoimmune nutritionist and in our conversation together we discussed:
đ€Â How our hormone changes can make trigger auto immune issues.
đ€Â Symptoms of auto immune issues.
đ€Â How a functional approach can help you become symptom free.
đ€Â Swapping handbags for health.
đ€Â How to keep healthy practices up for the long term.
đ€Â The genetic component of auto immune issues.
đ€Â Why the immune system over reacts.
đ€Â Why DNA testing is useful (and yo...

Iâm gonna go out on a limb and say that I believe your mind has the power to affect your experience of your menopause (including your symptom severity).Â
Â
Unless youâve been under a rock for the last few years (and I wouldnât blame you if you had) youâve probably heard about the power of the imagination. When it comes to our immune system, our nervous system and our endocrine system (ok, ALL our systems actually) the imagination can have an impact(directly and indirectly).Â
Â
Remember nothing happens in isolation in the body.
Â
Donât take my word for it, look at the science.Â

In a study done in 2004 by scientists at The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Lerner Research Institute in Cleveland they found that by simply imagining repeating an exercise over and over again, you can an increase in muscle strength by 35% Ref: Pg: 77 âHow Your Mind Heals Your Bodyâ by David R Hamilton.Â

My instinct tells me that we can affect our menopause symptom severity too by tapp...
